A Scottish supplier of branded workwear, personal protective equipment (PPE), and janitorial supplies, has expanded its premises in Cumbernauld in response to increasing customer demand.

Suresafe Protection has acquired the unit next to its existing site at Lenziemill Industrial Estate, with the help of a £315,000 loan from HSBC . The move will see Suresafe increase its space by almost 200 per cent, with the new 37,000 square feet building adding to its existing 19,000 square feet building and yard.

Managing director Trevor Lang expects new jobs to be created later this year as a result of the expansion.

"Facilitating the purchase of the building next to our current location was the ideal next step in our development," Lang said. "We’re grateful to HSBC for supporting this move.”

Suresafe has clients across the UK including rail contractor QTS Group, frozen food specialist Farmfoods and logistics and airport services business Menzies Distribution. The company's turnover has grown up to 40 per cent in the last year. A larger central warehouse was needed to increase production and continue the company's development.

Susan Rowand, Head of Business Banking for HSBC in Scotland, said: “Trevor and his team have clear plans for expansion and we were thrilled to help support the next step in the business’s progression.”
